WARNING LIGHTS (3/4)
ùWarning light for Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) and
traction control system (ASR).
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
There are several reasons for the warn-
ing light coming on: refer to the infor -
mation on the “Electronic Stability
Program: ESP” and “Traction control:
ASR” in Section 2.
ÚBattery charge warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it comes on when the vehicle is being
driven, and is accompanied by the
® warning light and a beep, it in-
dicates that the electrical circuit is over-
charged or undercharged.
Stop as soon as traffic conditions allow
and contact an approved Dealer.
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
Warning Light
For vehicles equipped with this option,
the light comes on when the ignition is
switched on then goes out.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as
possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information on “Advice:
antipollution, fuel economy and driving”
in Section 2.
DHandbrake on and brake cir-
cuit incident warning light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out as soon as
the handbrake is released.
If it comes on during braking and is ac-
companied by the
® warning light
and a beep, it indicates that the fluid
level in the circuit is low or that there is
a braking system fault.
Stop as soon as traffic conditions allow
and contact an approved Dealer.

Contrôle dynamique de conduite : E.S.P. avec contrôle de sous-virage (X85 - B85 - C85 - S85 - K85 - Renaul\
t)
ENG_NU_853-7_BCSK85_Renault_2
This system helps to keep control of
the vehicle in critical driving situations
(avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip when
cornering, etc.) and works in conjunc -
tion with the ‘understeer control’
system .
Electronic Stability Program: ESP
This function is an addi -
tional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not take
the place of the driver. It does not
increase the vehicle’s limits and
should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum -
stances replace the vigilance or re-
sponsibility of the driver when ma -
noeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be ready for sudden in-
cidents which may occur when driv-
ing).
When the E.S.P. function starts operat-
ing, warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa -
nied by the ‘traction control deselected’
message when the engine is started,
slowly turn the steering wheel from lock
to lock to reinitialise the system.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of
the E.S.P. in the case of pronounced
understeering (loss of front axle road
holding).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di -
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power.

ENG_NU_853-7_BCSK85_Renault_2
Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P.
function being deactivated.
Refer to the information on
the “Traction control: ASR” on the
following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check ESP” ap-
pears on the instrument panel along
with warning lights
© and A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
The function is deactivated by pressing
switch 1 ; warning light A will come on
to warn you that the system has been
deactivated.
This action also deactivates the trac -
tion control mechanism: the message
‘ASR deselected’ appears on the in -
strument panel. Refer to the informa -
tion on “Traction control” in the follow -
ing pages.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati -
cally when the ignition is switched on or
when a speed of approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function
when travelling above a threshold of
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Traction control: ASR
This function is an addi -
tional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not take
the place of the driver. It does not
increase the vehicle’s limits and
should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum -
stances replace the vigilance or re-
sponsibility of the driver when ma -
noeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be ready for sudden in-
cidents which may occur when driv-
ing).
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
When the function begins to operate,
warning light A flashes to warn you.
If the warning light comes on accompa -
nied by the ‘traction control deselected’
message when the engine is started,
slowly turn the steering wheel from lock
to lock to reinitialise the system.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation.
If a wheel is starting to slip, the system
brakes automatically until the drive sup-
plied becomes compatible with the level
of grip under the wheel again.
This system helps to limit skidding on
drive wheels and to control the vehicle
when pulling away or accelerating.

Deactivating the A.S.R.
function results in the E.S.P.
function being deactivated.
Refer to the information on
the “Electronic stability program:
E.S.P.” on the following pages.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operat -
ing fault the message “Check E.S.P.”
appears on the instrument panel along
with the
© warning light and warn-
ing light A.
Consult an approved dealer.
Disabling the function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel -
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The ‘traction control deselected’ mes -
sage is displayed on the instrument
panel along with warning light A to
inform you.
Disabling the function also disables
the E.S.P. function.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch 1 again.
The function is reactivated automati -
cally when the ignition is switched on or
when a speed of approximately 30 mph
(50 km/h) is exceeded.
It is impossible to deselect this function
when travelling above a threshold of
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
